Hi,

I see that there are many pharmacies ("6a Farmacias"), and also
supermarkets ("6b Supermercado"), in the .csv file that can be
downloaded from http://chile.ushahidi.com/download/ (as well as road
blocks and collapsed structures).

Is OSM allowed to map them ?
What is their source ?
Is it compatible with OSM license ?

Thanks,

Jean-Guilhem

Hi Jean-Guilhem,

Yes, all Ushahidi data is public and derived from public information. My colleague Jaclyn (cc'd) can follow up with more information.

Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Jean-Guilhem,

Yes, OSM is allowed to map them. Source is social media and new media. Yes, compatible with OSM license.

Thanks,
Patrick
